When it comes to managing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall wellness, both chiropractic care and physiotherapy offer effective approaches, yet they differ significantly in philosophy, training, and techniques. At Neurohealth Wellness on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, our chiropractors provide a unique blend of care that goes beyond traditional chiropractic, combining advanced therapies with a holistic, patient-centred approach. With extensive postgraduate training, our chiropractors not only offer spinal adjustments but also employ a range of modalities—including photobiomodulation, shockwave therapy, dry needling, soft tissue techniques, and personalised nutritional and lifestyle guidance—to ensure comprehensive support for each patient. This blog will explore the key differences between chiropractic and physiotherapy and explain how Neurohealth Wellness chiropractors deliver a thorough, whole-body approach to healing.

Vitamin D is a vital nutrient for overall health, playing a crucial role in bone development, immune function, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Despite Australia’s reputation for abundant sunshine, vitamin D deficiency is surprisingly common, affecting a significant portion of the population. Research over the past decade has highlighted not only the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels for bone health, but also its potential to protect against conditions like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and respiratory infections. With lifestyle factors, such as limited sun exposure and dietary habits, influencing vitamin D intake, it’s essential to understand the best ways to maintain healthy levels of this powerhouse vitamin throughout the year.

Plagiocephaly, commonly known as flat head syndrome, is a condition that affects many infants, leading to an unusual flattening of the skull, particularly on one side or the back. With increasing awareness and medical guidance, especially due to campaigns like "Back to Sleep" to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the prevalence of plagiocephaly has risen significantly in recent years. While often not a serious health threat, if left untreated, it can affect a child’s development, including motor skills, cognitive functions, and even social behaviour. This article explores the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for plagiocephaly, with a special focus on how chiropractic care can offer a natural, holistic approach to helping infants recover from the condition and support healthy development.

Have you ever wondered what causes the distinct "cracking" sound during a chiropractic adjustment? While many people have heard this noise, few truly understand what’s happening beneath the surface. This sound, known as joint cavitation, occurs when gas is released from the synovial fluid between your joints during an adjustment. At Neurohealth Wellness, we specialise in unlocking the science behind this phenomenon and explaining its role in improving joint mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing overall health. In this article, we’ll explore the process of joint cavitation, its effects on your body, and why chiropractic care is essential for maintaining healthy, pain-free joints.

Headaches, whether they’re tension headaches or migraines, are a frequent and frustrating issue for many Australians. While medications can provide temporary relief, they often don’t address the root causes of headache pain. Chiropractic care, particularly through targeted spinal adjustments, offers a natural and effective solution by addressing misalignments in the cervical spine that may be contributing to pain. Here’s how chiropractic treatment at Neurohealth Wellness can help reduce headache frequency and intensity, promoting long-term relief and improved quality of life.

In today’s world, supporting a child’s development involves more than just routine check-ups—it means nurturing their nervous system for optimal growth and health. Vagal tone, the function of the vagus nerve, plays a crucial role in children’s ability to manage stress, digest food effectively, and maintain a balanced emotional state. Low vagal tone can impact these areas and more, leading to developmental challenges. At Neurohealth Wellness, we’re dedicated to helping parents understand the importance of vagal tone in paediatric health and how simple, effective tools like chiropractic care and the Myomunchee can make a positive difference in a child’s well-being.

In a world where sedentary lifestyles and poor movement habits are common, mastering foundational techniques like the hip hinge can be transformative for both physical health and overall well-being. This simple yet powerful movement engages core muscles, improves lower body strength, and supports daily functions—whether you’re lifting groceries, reaching for items, or working out at the gym. At Neurohealth Wellness, we emphasize the hip hinge as a core skill that not only builds resilience and reduces injury risk but also enhances performance and mobility for all ages and activity levels. Here’s everything you need to know about why the hip hinge matters, how to do it right, and how it benefits your body in ways you might not expect.

Hip pain can be frustrating and debilitating, affecting mobility, daily activities, and overall quality of life. While it’s easy to assume that pain in the hip region directly points to a hip problem, that isn’t always the case. The hip joint is intricately connected to the lumbar spine, pelvis, and thigh muscles, and pain may be referred from these neighboring areas. Misidentifying the source of hip pain can lead to ineffective treatment and prolonged discomfort. Understanding the various causes, from hip-specific conditions to referred pain from surrounding structures, is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, helping you regain pain-free movement and confidence.
